Description
Naming server that uses a centralized database of names (not a blockchain) should prevent mass registration of names by malicious actors. One of the ways is to add a mechanism similar to HashCash, so the client will be required to spend time and computing resources for every name it wants to be registered. The difficulty of computation should be reported by the naming server and increased when the rate of registrations increases.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by locating the naming server and client registration flow, then determine how registration rate and computational difficulty would be reported and enforced. Done means an agreed design and implementation plan for the HashCash-like mechanism, including how increased registration rates affect difficulty.
